The VUMA-suite of software comprises world leading windows-based software packages for mine ventilation, cooling, and environment control, and is applicable to a full variety of underground mining methods.

VUMA products are based on current research and development and use state-of-art procedures and technology.

All VUMA algorithms have been verified in recent work and over a development period of some two decades. VUMA represents a significant knowledge-base and is a major step-forward on past software, from both technical and user-friendly perspectives.

The VUMA simulation program is specifically designed to assist underground ventilation control engineers and practitioners to plan, design and operate mine ventilation systems. The VUMA suite of software are interactive Windows programs that allows for the simultaneous steady-state simulation of air flow, air thermodynamic behavior and gas and dust emissions in an underground mine.

The program caters for a wide variety of mining methods. A fundamental feature of VUMA-Network is the incorporation of user-friendly interfaces that allow simulation networks to be constructed and viewed graphically and what-if studies to be rapidly performed to determine optimal designs and system requirements.

VUMA can be used with confidence for ventilation optimization, planning and life of mine designs.
